Retro Emulation on Macbook Pro M1

[Andorin]

Hey boys and girls,

I'm a big traveller and out of home worker, so I move a lot.
I work on my Macbook Pro 14 M1, very powerful system and I was wondering if any of you here were playing Retro Games with that kind of machine.

I always have my New 3DS for GB, GBA, Megadrive, DS and 3DS games, but it kinda sucks for other systems and I would like to combine my Macbook to that already very big library with the 3DS and play some GAMECUBE, PS1, PS2 etc.

Do you have some advice to give me ?

Thanks !

Retroarch seems to be your best bet tbh. However standalone emu's for newer consles like Wii/GC, PS2, and PS3 should run pretty good on said machine as they have builds for it

Retroarch is always a winner. I know some people rate OpenEmu - https://openemu.org/ - release notes suggest it's not built for native M1 yet but should run fine especially for emulating older systems.

Fine, thanks !
Any other opinions ?
